GORHAM — A proposal to upgrade a Howland Avenue canoe/kayak access point on the Androscoggin River drew comments at Monday's Gorham selectmen's meeting about its impact on the surrounding neighborhood.

In 2019, the town was selected as one of 10 finalists for the national Recreation Economy for Rural Communities Program to help connect the downtown with the Androscoggin River and its assets.
